IMPROVEMENT IN HEATING'STOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 126,990, dated May 21, 1872. I

To whom it may concern:

Bc it known that I, EDWIN B. SMITH, of

Westfield, Hampden county, State of Massa- .l chusetts, have invented certain Improvements *in Stoves, of which the following is a specilistove of an oven for cooking purposes; the object of.' my invention being, while saving all "of the heat generated on the Stuart principle,

to utilize the same to cook without requiring an increase of space or an important ontside altera-tion of the usual form of' parlorheaters.

` Figure I is a sectional elevation of a stove of my construction, Fig. II being a cross-section of the same on the line a b, and Fig. III

a cross-section on the line w y.

A is the fire-box, which, instead of being placed in the center of the stove and having dues on both sides to conduct the heat to the base of the stove, I place to one side of the center of an oblon g stove, as shown in Fig. I, and in thev space thus left the oven B, which is so constructed as to leave between its sides and the wall of the stove the ports, as shown in Fig. II,so that, the damper F being closed, the draught would, as indicated by the arrows in Fig. I, pass over thetop and down upon both sides of the oven and beneath it to reach the opening of the pipe D. That the hot air, in so passing, vwill not go direct to the opening D, a wing, H, is placed, as shown in Figs. I and III, toretard its escape and insure the uniform heating of the bottom of the oven. The back ofthe oven may be brought directly against the tire-bricks, or an air-space may be left between them, or a packing may be used of some slow conductor of heat. Apertures may be made in the case of the oven to enable any odor to be carried off by the draught. By leading the supply-funnel to apoint above the fire-box the stove may become a base-burner.

What I claim is- The combination and arrangement of the oven B, in the oblong stove, in relationfto the fine-passages and grate, -as shown, whereby the ordinary form of a heating-stove is utilized I'or cooking purposes.
